About the Author
Born in China and raised in Japan by missionary parents, Gail Fairfield was encouraged to discover her own answers to life's questions. She was drawn to the tarot in 1973, and it has allowed her to combine her background in psychology and her practical experience as a teacher with her intuition to create the choice-centered view of life that she introduces here. She is also the author of Choice-Centered Relating and the Tarot and Choice-Centered Astrology. Fairfield currently lives in Bloomington, Indiana.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent primer,
By Minsma (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choice Centered Astrology: The Basics (Paperback)
Gail Fairfield has written an excellent primer which covers the basics of chart interpretation in a thorough, easy-to-follow, and humanistic way. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to read a chart without giving in to fatalistic thinking.
4.0 out of 5 stars
good book,
By Eric Orion "Eric Orion" (Arizona, Malkuth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choice Centered Astrology: The Basics (Paperback)
I didn't think I was going to enjoy this at first. Just glimpsing through it, looking at the interpretations, I thought it was just another book that takes the tired formula of keyword 1 + keyword 2 to get its interpretations. In a way it is, and the result is sometimes clumsy such as the Neptune in 9th house interpretations "act out vicimization through selling or advertising" and "show trust through knowledge". Huh? Were these thrown together or is it just me?
Well, that is why the book gets four stars instead of five. The actual text and information is great. I've consumed countless astrology books and the author still provided me with something new, even an Ah-hah moment. In all, I loved this book and know I will come back to it. I will just have to skip the formulas.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Choices not Fate are the Ultimate Drivers of Destiny,
By
This review is from: Choice Centered Astrology: The Basics (Paperback)
There are circumstances and a reality that we must face and accept, and then choose what to do with the cards we are dealt. This is a book about influences and what they are and what strategies we can use to navigate. While the debate as to whether astrology is fact or fiction is not in question ... but how to perhaps view the ancient practice, this is a book that is very helpful for those who need to knock some common sense into fatalistic friends predicting dire planetary meddling into their lives.
